Not just humans. Animal diseases too. The cattle virus rinderpest was eradicated by...guess what..vaccination. Clever things, vaccines

Offit @DrPaulOffit knows his stuff. It may be hard to spread the word without being throttled, but we need to follow the science and not the pseudoscience. The scientific community will need to step up to help explain how these things work

This will be the first of 6 essays I wrote about RFK Jr. In this first piece, I describe a conversation I had with him about 20 years ago, which marked the beginning of his anti-vaccine activism. Is this the man we want to be in charge of our health? My Conversation with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. open.substack.com/pub/pauloffit/…

RFK Jr’s nomination is the repudiation of a century of unprecedented and miraculous progress in public health. We take it for granted because we don’t recognize how far we’ve come. I recently wrote in @TheAtlantic about what we risk losing. Gift link 👇 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Dr. Paul Offit: “There were seven misstatements of fact within three-and-a-half minutes. I’m not sure what the record is, but that has to be close.”

Just kind of remarkable how reading older literature will sometimes provide insight into current events

From a historical paper I read today: "vaccination had controlled smallpox reasonably well during the first one-third of the century; however, during the period of the Jacksonian Democracy, laissez-faire doctrine prevailed and in 1837 the vaccination laws were repealed (1/3).

I met with Bobby Kennedy for over two hours and he was the opposite of what the media portrays. Sunlight is the best disinfectant — he wants to study the full data (not what the NIH decides to put out) and let the American people decide.

Vaccines work. Vaccine denial kills. It’s that simple.
